Nursing Home Expert Panel – Round Table Discussions

Nursing Home Expert Panel – Round Table Discussions

The Alliance was delighted to attend a round table discussion today with Minister of Older Persons Mary Butler TD, the HSE, HIQA, The Department of Health, Advocacy services and many more important stakeholders.

We were provided with a comprehensive update on the progress of actions from the Nursing Home Expert Panel report.
The discussion was robust at times but overall very positive.

I was delighted to be able to put the views of our nursing home members, residents and staff across to the most important stakeholders in the Nursing Home industry.

We look forward to many follow up engagements.
